Coachwork by Salmons & Sons (Tickford)
Registration no. HPF 443
Chassis no. 971073
Footnotes:
Introducing the new rationalised 'P2' range for 1937, the new bodies establishing a look that would hold Rover in good stead long into the 1950s, it was just what their typical demographic wanted. At the top of the range sat the 20hp (called the Speed 20 at first) which boasted a new chassis and body and was powered by a 2½-litre overhead-valve straight-six. This was an expensive prestige automobile, the 'Twenty' was built between 1937 and 1940 but did not resume production after the war, as Rover concentrated on more affordable model alternatives.

Boasting rare and desirable coachwork, and benefiting from long-term ownership, this 'Twenty' was registered to the current keeper on 16th February 1939, as verified by the DVLA records and substantiated by the estate selling this Lot. Last on the road in the 1960s, the car is offered for complete restoration and sold strictly as viewed, with some parts missing (the engine is incomplete). At time of cataloguing the current UK V5C registration document had not been found by the estate office. Offered with a bill of sale.
Lot to be sold without reserve.
